Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized assessment and treatment for vertigo, dizziness, BPPV and balance disorders.
Stop the Spinning
At Réhabital in Côte Saint-Luc (CSL), Montreal, this service is delivered by Colin Teghen Tamuton, Physiothérapeute, a bilingual (English / French) physiotherapist and member of the Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie du Québec (OPPQ). Colin combines hands-on manual therapy, progressive therapeutic exercise and clear patient education to deliver measurable functional results.
Vestibular rehabilitation is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on the inner-ear and central balance systems. If you experience vertigo (the sense that you or the room is spinning), dizziness, unsteadiness, or visual disturbance with head movement, vestibular rehab is one of the most effective treatments available — often producing dramatic improvement within just a few sessions. Colin assesses and treats vestibular disorders at our Côte Saint-Luc clinic for patients across Montreal.
Conditions Colin Treats
• Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) — spinning triggered by head position, treated with the Epley or Semont maneuvers
• Vestibular neuritis / labyrinthitis — recovery after viral inner-ear inflammation
• Post-concussion dizziness and vestibular symptoms
• Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)
• Age-related balance loss and fall risk in seniors
• Cervicogenic dizziness linked to neck dysfunction
What a Vestibular Session Looks Like
Colin starts with a detailed history and a structured battery of tests: oculomotor exam, head-impulse test, Dix-Hallpike for BPPV, dynamic visual acuity and balance testing. For BPPV specifically, treatment can be remarkably fast: a single Epley maneuver resolves symptoms in roughly 80% of cases.
For other vestibular conditions, treatment involves gaze stabilization exercises, habituation drills, balance retraining and graded return to function. A typical program runs 4 to 8 weeks.
When to Seek Vestibular Rehab
If dizziness or unsteadiness has lasted more than a few days, is interfering with work or driving, or has been labeled "BPPV" or "vestibular neuritis" by a physician, vestibular rehab is indicated. Colin will also screen for red flags requiring further medical investigation.
Related Care
Cervicogenic components often respond to manual therapy of the upper cervical spine. Patients with anxiety-driven dizziness sometimes benefit from combined work with naturopathy.
